THE EVOLVING THREAT OF FRAUD IN B2B TRADE
The BrightQuery whitepaper highlights the growing threat of fraud in B2B trade, with credit fraud, phishing, identity theft, and falsified documents on the rise. Nearly 44% of credit managers report more fraud attempts from new applicants, and 60% have seen charge disputes. Fraudsters exploit digital transactions, staffing shortages, and gaps from post-COVID shifts. Key prevention strategies include automating fraud checks, using verified data from government filings, and enhancing KYB/KYC protocols. BrightQuery’s Fraud Indicator System helps businesses verify legal status, operations, and financial activity to mitigate risks.
